(Front of KVM2132P is shown at the bottom of the picture)

With the jumper shorted, turn on power to the KVM Switch, and wait for the front panel LEDs of the KVM to flash in unison. When they start to flash, the reset is completed.

Return the jumper to the open position, remove power from the KVM switch, and replace the cover.

Turn the power back on for the device.

The assigned usernames and passwords will all be cleared. Start the OSD with the default username/password, which is apc/apc for KVM1116P, KVM2116P, and KVM2132P.
